New HARMAN KENTMERE 200 in ROLLEIFLEX T

I bought 3 test rolls of the New Harman 'KENTMERE 200' 120 film and loaded my 1956 ROLLEIFLEX T using 16-on kit After 7 frames I CUT the film and stuck the rest back onto the backing paper. I processed in the Staining Formula 'Exactol Lux Ling Life' and got great negs at 2400 DPI which needed NO 'Adjustments ' from the scans I used a ROLLEI YELLOW Filter on some . Under a x6 magnifier the resolution is wonderful . Hope to do Darkroom Prints on next tests !

Did not know this was possible. I sometimes tried something like this with an old slide film and ended up with a film mess inside camera.

Yes I am Careful ! Inside a ' Changing Bag' I put the Rolleiflex T body wih scissors and the developing tank Spiral and Tank body and Lid. THEN open the sliding catch and open camera body where the film goes over the aperture. Then pull out the bottom knob and loosen the film spool, then with fingers feel the backing paper over the film gate and lift it up then slide scissors under the paper across the film and CUT -- then pull out the take up knob and losen the top spool so I can pullout the film , then with film puled out FEEL Carefully the cut bit to feed it into tank Spiral and detach from where it is stuck down . Then with film in tank safely I can rewind the BOTTOM bit of film onto backing paper. Then take out of changing bag film and tank. Then to re-attach the cut film I hold film tight while I pullOUT the backing paper past where the missing bit was cut until I see the cut edge, then stick it down with sellotape carefully then rewind tightly and put elastic band round film. I fog only a TINY bit of the cut edge of the film !
